I was actually talking to this CS trans girl on 4chin a few days ago, and I asked her why is it that computers attract transgender people so much. She replied:
>My theory is that we seek a safe place where we can fit in, and because we cannot fit in with others or are intentionally excluded, we drift towards computers because they can't judge us or exclude us or poke at our insecurities. Like, I probably would've been a horse girl if I was AFAB (I love horses and took riding lessons for years until my classmates found out and bullied me relentlessly for it), and could have been a programmer but probably would've found a different major (like english, which I really wish I had double majored instead of just minoring in).
Then you combine this with the connections of CS and CT to get a partial explanation of why there are so many trans girls interested in CT.
